Question

Tails Corporation purchased and installed electronic payment equipment at its drive-in restaurants in San Maroos, TX, at a cost of $32,400. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $1,500. The equipment is expected to process 258,000 payments over its throe-year useful life. Per year, expected payment transactions are 61,920, year 1: 141,900, year 2; and 54,180, year 3. Required: Complete a depreciation schedule for each of the altemative methods. (Do not round Intermedlate calculation 1. Straight-line onCost De Year Book Value 2.

Explanation / Answer

Straight Line method

Annual Depreciation = (Machine cost - salvage value)/ useful years

Annual Depreciation= (32400 - 1500)/ 3

= (30900)/ 3

= 10300

In Units of production method depreciation is charged as per the asset use, more depreciation is charged if asset is used more in a year and vice versa.

The formula to calculate annual depreciation is,

Annual depreciation = [Units produced in year/ Life of asset in Units]* (Asset Cost - Salvage value)

Lets put the values in the formula,

= (61920/258000)* (32400 - 1500)

= (0.24) * (30900 )

= 7416

Year 1 Depreciation is 7416

Year 2 Depreciation is calculated similarly,

Year 2 Depreciation = 141900/ 258000* (32400 - 1500)

= 0.55 * 30900

= 16995

Year 3 Depreciation = 54180/ 258000* (32400 - 1500)

= 0.21 * 30900

= 6489

Declining balance depreciation is calculated by following formula)                                                                                                                                                            

Depreciation = Depreciation rate * Book value of asset                                                                                                                                                 

Depreciation rate = Accelerator * straight line rate                                                                                                                                                          

Straight line rate = 1/ useful life of asset in years                                                                                                                                                              

If asset cost is 32400 and its useful life is 3 years then straight line rate will be = 1/3                                                                                                                                                          

= 0.333333333333333                                                                                                                                                     

After that we need to calculate Depreciation rate which will be = 0.333333333333333*2= 0.666666666666667                                                                                                                                                      

Depreciation for the first year will be,                                                                                                                                                    

Depreciation 1st year = 0.666666666666667*32400                                                                                                                                                          

= 21600                                                                                                                                                

Book value of asset after first year of depreciation will be = 32400- 21600= 10800                                                                                                                                                              

Next year depreciation will be calculated same way, we can now prepare the depreciation schedule
